(Modeling) cost, Revenue, and Profit Analysis A firm will break even (no profit and no loss as long as revenue just equals cost. The value of $x$ (the number of items produced and sold) where $C(x)=R(x)$ is the break-even point. Assume that each of the following can be expressed as a linear function. Find (a) the cost function, $\quad$ (b) the revenue function, and (c) the profit function. (d) Find the break-even point and decide whether the product should be produced, given the restrictions on sales. $$ \begin{array}{c|c|c} \text { Fixed cost } & \text { Variable cost } & \text { Price of Item } \\ \hline \$ 180 & \$ 11 & \$ 20 \\ \end{array} $$
